This procedure helps tighten your skin and can also improve the underlying fat. The results are better, more powerful, long lasting.
But that’s not all. What makes Morpheus8 an outstanding subdermal adipose remodeling device is the excellent results you can get at both low and high settings. When used in its most powerful settings, it can sculpt the underlying fat. Whereas when used at its lower settings, it can improve your skin texture.

Morpheus8 Treatment: Your Questions Answered
Anyone looking to get rid of their wrinkles, lines and skin blemishes without surgery should get in line for Morpheus8. It’s a simple, yet painless microneedling procedure that tightens and rejuvenates the skin.
The procedure stimulates the deeper layers of the dermis to remodel and transform skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, improve skin texture, tone, and give it a tighter and more supple appearance. If you’re not sure if Morpheus8 is right for you, check out the answers to the most commonly asked questions about the treatment below.
It is an advanced, microneedling treatment that utilizes special radiofrequency energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. The procedure increases collagen production while remodeling the skin to give patients smoother and tighter skin and a youthful appearance.
To perform the procedure, our team utilizes a special microneedling device on the area of the body being treated to send targeted radiofrequency heat energy to trigger an increase in collagen production. The microneedling process punctures the epidermal layers of the skin. As these needles prick and pass over the treatment area, they send radiofrequency impulses that signal the skin to boost the production of collagen and other skin proteins.
Morpheus8 is a treatment that pricks the skin which may be slightly unpleasant for some patients. Before the start of the procedure, a mild numbing cream is applied to help minimize any uncomfortable sessions to improve patient comfort.
Some mild soreness and redness may be present after the procedure. These symptoms are manageable with ice packs. Patients interested in taking pain medication should consult with our medical staff to learn which types are suitable and which are not and pose a risk to their health and outcome.

Morpheus8 is a cosmetic treatment that goes deeper than the surface to generate results. Most other non-invasive cosmetic procedures target topical issues to provide short-lived changes to the skin. Morpheus8 targets the deep layers of the epidermis to remodel the skin’s appearance and condition. No downtime is required, and the results, with proper skincare, a good diet, and lifestyle choices, last up to a year or longer after the first treatment session.
Morpheus8 is suitable for adult patients of all ages, especially those looking to refresh their skin and appearance without the invasiveness or commitment of surgery. Morpheus8 is also useful in treating many skin conditions, but individual results vary.
Morpheus8 is a quick and painless cosmetic treatment that allows patients to experience the transformational benefits of a facelift without having incisions or surgery. The benefits of Morpheus8 are many and include the following:
Boosts Collagen – The aging process gradually causes a decline in collagen and skin protein production. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles develop and the skin becomes thinner and less supple. Morpheus8 reverses this effect, so patients end up with firm, fuller skin that is more supple and a younger appearance.
Erases Wrinkles & Fine Lines – lines and wrinkles are common with aging and tend to become more noticeable and undesirable with time. Morpheus8 is proven to erase fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead, eyes, mouth, and other places on the body to leave behind smoother and tighter skin.
Corrects Complexion Concerns – Many people who seek out Morpheus8 do so because it is an effective treatment for common and not so easy to manage skin and complexion issues. Among the many skin issues the treatment improves are acne, enlarged pores, discoloration, oiliness, combination, dryness, roughness, scars, and stretch marks.
Tightens & Lifts Skin – Safe for use on different body areas, such as the face, neck, bra line, arms, abdomen, and more.
The Morpheus8 RF microneedling procedure is the most effective procedure of its kind at correcting problematic skin issues and reversing the signs of aging on the face and body so patients look good and feel younger than ever.
Side effects are minimal. Not everyone experiences them. However, some patients have experienced slight bruising, redness, swelling, and light bleeding from the micro-needling within the first 24 hours after treatment. These issues are temporary and usually resolve within two to three days.
Because the procedure pricks the skin, patients should take extra measures to protect their skin. Skin damage and scarring can occur when the treatment area is touched before it has settled down from treatment.
At NuWave Medical, our team offers 30-minute Morpheus8 sessions. Some treatments are longer or shorter depending on the work and changes desired.
Longer sessions may be applicable for those interested in treating multiple areas. Patients are advised to arrive early to their appointments. Results may be immediate for some, but the most dramatic and long-term improvements can take up to four weeks to appear. Additional improvements occur over several months following the last treatment.
The best results are when patients have several treatment sessions. Our Team evaluates each patient and takes their desired outcome into consideration when determining the optimal number of Morpheus8 sessions to provide the best results and outcomes. Each session is scheduled two to three weeks apart to give the skin time to settle and adjust from treatment.
Morpheus8 treats the face, neck, hands, arms, bra line, back, abdomen, knees, thighs, and buttocks.
Morpheus8 is not for everyone. But most people who are in good overall health qualify. Rare complications can occur, such as burns, skin damage, hyperpigmentation, and excessive scarring.
